Miles S Kiehner Edna L Whitaker Albert L. Guertler . O RESUME of the high school life of the Senior Class would be complete without a tribute to those to whom we owe many of the successes we look back upon-our class advisers. For four years they have worked faithfully and dili- gently to bring the problems and undertakings of our class to a successful conclusion. Through our high school life we have constantly been confronted with situations requiring the help and assistance of a true friend. This requirement has always been cheerfully fulfilled together with the assurance that should we need help, we could depend upon our advisers at all times and at all places. This backing has served to inspire us with needed confidence and added endeavor. In all our elections and decisions, their invaluable assistance has prevented mistakes otherwise unavoidable. VVithout any reward other than the satisfaction of work well done, they have sacrificed time and effort unceasingly in our behalf. It is through our advisers' unerring supervision and kind suggestions that we have been moulded into a class capable of sponsoring such projects as the junior Prom and the Senior Play. The unpar- alleled success of these productions could not have been realized without the firm and guiding hands of experience provided by the true and sincere friends of every member of our class-Nliss Edna VVhitaker and Klr. Albert Guertler. In no less degree do we pay tribute to our annual adviser, hir. Nliles S. Kiehner. He has cheerfully accepted the lasting responsibility of supervising the most important undertaking of our class. It is largely to his patient, untiring efforts and ever-ready help that we owe the success of this work-the closest link between our future life and our high school recollections. l r HD f . ll-
